    My safety hem hawed around about me taking a pee test 3 days after the incident when I returned to the yard.

    I gladly took it.

    If you drove my 3900 you can talk . It has a blind area that hides a small car between the mirrors .

    My safety knows it is a possibility with a 3900. and the person that I knicked acknowledged they were in my blind spot .

    Safety immediately called , information exchanged , no police report.

    Go to work for a real company and they will realize that Krap Happens when you drive around Chicago 4 times a week.

    She made nachos too. Of course when The OM makes them, they're carne asada.

    I've noticed when it's like 100+, Casper warms up substantially faster than when it's like -10 in WHY-OH-MING.

    Thinking carefully, that Person says you test and still have a job.

    Thats a credible threat. I think it even falls under Corecion vs a vis federal law made after 2012. Among other very good possibilities.

    The problem is that when I think back decades to bad old bosses, the either threaten, fire or beat employees or soon to be ex employees to make something happen as ordered. And if you didnt want to, you were told that you will appreciate having the job tomorrow.

    There is one exception in my lifetime. That boss was not part of any drug testing and he fired us a thousand times with profanity, verbal abuse and GO HAME!

    NExt morning suns up phone rings, WHY YE AIT HERE YIT? YER LATE GET GOING.

    Going to be a hell of a day.

    Mr Winterfront takes care of that at -10

    I remember my last Detriot Century and T2000 refusing to heat cab above 55 in -50 even at 1500 RPM engine idle set. So we ended up wearing winter gear inside the cab all the time. I think it took a hour to fuel that cold and it would throw away 30 gallons or so doing it. 335 gallon purchase becomes about close to a 400 gallon making for interesting company billing. Forget the fuel mileage.

    One of the old 120's we were in -46 one night and the door had warped on my side a inch out of its frame about a foot high. So I was losing my left leg losing the coffee thermos under the seat and watching the coffeepot freeze in the cabinet behind me. Then the cab got to about 42.

    I do not do hot tubs in life. But that night I found one for rent and turned into boiled crab for a few hours. Took me 6 months to warm up again.

    Only solution. Our problems occasionally came from the big polled Hereford bull;we used on Angus brood cows, getting into the dairy Jerseys. Size problem.

    Spoken like a true cattleman... The sheep are difficult to unload also. Crawl in finally; toss one out,and it beats you back in always to the nose... On upper deck too.
